Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei 2-209501

In the branching device of the center guided orbital system traffic system, as in the branching device described in Patent Document 1, in order to move only the center guide rail of the branching portion in the direction along the main line and the direction along the branching line without moving the traveling path of the branching portion The central guide rails of the branch portions intersect with the runways of the branch portions to interfere with each other. Therefore, the center guide rails of the drive passage and the branch portions of the branch portion are integrally moved. As a result, in this type of branching device, the switching mechanism becomes large. Further, the energy consumption of the switching mechanism also increases, and the initial cost and the running cost are increased.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a branching device capable of reducing the initial cost and the running cost, and a center guided orbital system traffic system equipped with this branching device.

In order to achieve the above object, according to a first aspect of the present invention,

A branching device for guiding a trajectory system vehicle guided and guided by a central guide rail disposed at the center of a traveling route to a traveling route of either a main line traveling route or a branching route which is branched from the main line traveling route to one side A switching mechanism, a proximal side center guide rail, a distal side center guide rail, and a branch line center guide rail. The tracked vehicle has a central guide wheel engageable with the central guide rail and a pair of branch guide wheels arranged on both sides of the vehicle body, arranged in the vehicle width direction. The switching mechanism realizes a branch line lateral guide rail, a main line lateral guide rail, a branch line guiding position, and a main line guiding position. The branch line lateral guide rail is disposed on one side of the main road running route from the main road running route to the branch line running route and the branch guiding wheel on one side of the trajectory meter is engaged, And is guided to the branch line travel route. Wherein the main line side guide rail is moved from the main line travel route to the main line travel route on the proximal side in the traveling direction of the branch start position based on the branch start position at which the branch line travel route starts to branch from the main line travel route And the branch guiding wheels on the other side of the trajectory gauge are engaged with each other so that the trajectory gauge is located on the far side main line running route, And is guided to the traveling road. The branch line guiding position is a position where the one branch guiding wheel is coupled to the branch line lateral guide rail and the branch guiding wheel on the other side can not be coupled to the main line lateral guide rail. The main line guiding position is a position where the branching guide wheel on the other side is engaged with the main line side guide rail and the branching guide wheel on one side can not be engaged with the branching line lateral guide rail. Wherein the proximal side central guide rail is the center guide rail of the proximal main line travel route and the center position in the width direction of the running route of the far side main line travel route is the proximal side in the traveling direction than the portion crossing the branch line travel route And the traveling circle side is located on the side of the traveling circle side than the branching starting position. Wherein the center guide rail on the far side is the center guide rail of the far-side main line travel route, and the center position in the width direction of the far-side main line travel route is longer than the portion, So as to be a proximal proximal side end portion. Wherein the branching line central guide rail is the center guide rail of the branching line running route and the center position in the width direction of the running route of the branching line running route is located farther forward than the portion crossing the farther side main line running route, As shown in Fig.

The branching device guides the orbiter vehicle traveling on the proximal main line travel route to the far-site main line travel route by the main-line lateral guide rail of the main-line guiding position, And can be guided to the branch line travel route by the branch line lateral guide rail of the guide position.

Therefore, in the branching device, the center position in the width direction of the far-side main road runway crosses the branch-line runway, or the center position in the width direction of the runway of the branch- There is no need to provide a central guide rail, and no central guide rail is provided at these portions. Therefore, in the branching device, it is possible to avoid interference between the center guide rail and the traveling path, even if the traveling path and the center guide rail are not moved integrally.

As described above, since it is not necessary to move the traveling path in the branching device, it is not necessary to provide a movable traveling path. Further, the switching mechanism can be downsized, and the consumption energy of the switching mechanism can be reduced. As a result, according to the branching device, the initial cost and the running cost can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the branching device, the switching mechanism moves at least a part of each of the branch line lateral guide rail and the main line lateral guide rail to realize the branch line guiding position and the main line guiding position do. The switching device may move the pair of branch guiding wheels in the vehicle width direction to realize the branch line guiding position and the main line guiding position.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the branching device, in the traveling path width direction between the advancing proximal-side end of the distal-side central guide rail and the forward proximal-side end of the branching- Of the tracked vehicle traveling on the far-side main line travel route can not come into contact with the branching line central guide rail and the traveling wheels of the tracked vehicle running on the above-mentioned branch line travel route The center guide rail can not contact the far center guide rail.

In the above-described branching device, the traveling wheels of the tracked vehicle running on the far-side main line traveling route do not contact the branching line central guide rail, and the traveling wheels of the tracked- Do not touch the rail. As a result, the orbital system vehicle can smoothly run the traveling path in the branching portion.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the branching device, the orbital gauge is arranged such that the pair of branching guiding wheels are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body with respect to the center guiding wheel, A distance dimension in a direction along the branching line running path between an end of the proximal side central guide rail and the proximal end side of the branching line lateral guide rail, The distance dimension in the direction along the far-side main line running route between the proximal-side proximal-side ends of the main-line-side guide rails is longer than the dimension of the distance between the central guiding wheel of the track-guiding vehicle and the pair of branching guiding wheels.

In the branching device, when the trajectory gauge enters the branching portion, it is possible to reliably secure a state in which both the branching guiding wheel and the central guiding wheel are coupled to the corresponding guiding rails. This makes it possible to smoothly and reliably perform the transition from the proximal main line running path of the track vehicle to the branch line running path and the transition from the proximal main line running path to the far-side main line running path.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the branching device, the trajectory gauge has the central guide wheel on each of the front and rear of the vehicle body, and the end of the proximal- A distance between the proximal end side end portions of the distal center side guide rails in the direction along the main line running path and a distance between the end portions on the proximal side of the proximal side center guide rail and the proximal side end portion of the branching line central guide rail The interval dimension in the direction along the branch line travel path is shorter than the interval dimension between the central guide wheel disposed on the front side of the vehicle body and the center guide wheel disposed on the rear side of the vehicle body.

In the branching device, at least one of the central guide wheel on the front side and the center guide wheel on the rear side is provided on one of the proximal center guide rail and the distal center guide rail, And can be coupled to one of the center guide rails. Therefore, in the branching device, the possibility of derailment of the trajectory vehicle at the branching portion can be reduced.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the branching device, the branch line lateral guide rail and the main line lateral guide rail each include a movable rail displaceable between the main line guiding position and the branch line guiding position, Wherein the end portion of the proximal side central guide rail on the traveling circle side is located at an end portion on the traveling circle side of the movable rail of the branch line lateral guide rail and the end portion of the traveling guide rail, Is located on the proximal side in the traveling direction with respect to the end on the traveling circle side of the main rail side guide rail.

In this branching device, the drive source of the switching mechanism is disposed on one side in the width direction of the traveling path with reference to the movable rail of the branching-side lateral guide rail or the movable rail of the main-line lateral guide rail, It is not necessary to detach the link from the proximal central guide rail, and the initial cost of the switching mechanism can be suppressed.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the branching device, the lower rim of the branch line lateral guide rail and the lower rim of the main line lateral guide rail are located higher than the position of the upper rim of the central guide rail to be.

In the branching device, the height of the branching guide wheel contacting the branch line lateral guide rail or the main-line lateral guide rail is increased, and the possibility that the branching guide wheel contacts the driveway when the drive wheel is punctured can be reduced. In addition, in the branching device, the branch guiding wheel of the orbiter traveling on the original main road traveling route interferes with the branch guiding center guide rail, and the branch guiding wheel of the orbiting- The central guide rails can be prevented from interfering with each other. As a result, the trajectory gauge can smoothly run on the original high-side main-line running route and the branch-line running route.

According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, the center guided orbital system traffic system includes the branching device and the orbital metering vehicle.

In the above trajectory system traffic system, since the branching device is provided, the initial cost and the running cost of the system can be reduced.

According to the branching device of the present invention, there is no need to move the traveling path, and it is not necessary to provide a traveling path that can be moved. Further, the switching mechanism can be downsized, and the consumption energy of the switching mechanism can be reduced.

Therefore, according to the trajectory system traffic system of the present invention, the initial cost and the running cost of the branching device can be reduced.

[ The proximal side central guide rail 10a is also connected to a portion on the proximal side in the traveling direction of the branch line lateral guide rail 20c in the direction along the traveling route R. [ A length dimension in the direction along the traveling path R of the portion where the proximal central guide rail 10a and the main-line lateral guide rail 20b are connected to each other and a length dimension in the direction along the main- Is approximately the same in the present embodiment in the direction along the traveling path R. The length in the direction along the traveling path R of the portion where the &

The far center side central guide rail 10b is connected to the portion of the main line side guide rail 20b on the side of the running circle of the main line side guide rail 20b in the direction along the far-side main line travel route Rb. The branching line central guide rail 10c is connected to a part of the branching-line side guide rail 20c on the side of the traveling circle in the direction along the branching road running route Rc.

The fixed rails 28c,

The switching mechanism 40 is connected to the inward branching guiding wheel 7i of the pair of branching guiding wheels 7 on the movable rail 25c (hereinafter, referred to as the branching line movable rail 25c) of the branching line lateral guide rail 20c, Side branching guide wheel 7o can not be engaged with the movable rail 25b (hereinafter referred to as the main-line movable rail 25b) of the main-line-side guide rail 20b Side branching guiding wheel 7o to the main-line moving rail 25b and to the main-line guiding position MP in which the branching guiding wheel 7i can not be coupled to the branching line operating rail 25c, (25c) and the main-line-movable rail (25b).

The switching mechanism 40 includes a driver 43 disposed on the inward side of the branch line movable rail 25c, a first link 41 connecting the driver 43 and the branch line movable rail 25c, And a second link 42 connecting the driver 43 and the main-line-moving rail 25b. The driver 43 moves the branch line movable rail 25c connected to the first link 41 to the traveling circle side of the branch line movable rail 25c by moving the first link 41 in the traveling path width direction And swings on the basis of the end portion 26c to switch the branch line movable rail 25c to the branch line guiding position BP and the main line guiding position MP. The driver 43 moves the main-line-moving rail 25b connected to the second link 42 by moving the second link 42 in the width direction of the running road, And swings with respect to the distal end portion 26b to switch the main rail movable rail 25b to the branch line guiding position BP and the main line guiding position MP.

The driver 43 has a drive source such as a hydraulic cylinder, an electromagnetic cylinder, and an electric motor. When an electric motor is used as the driving source, for example, a rack and a pinion are used, and the rotational motion of the electric motor is changed to a rectilinear motion.

Although the driver 43 is disposed on the side of the branch line movable rail 25c in this example, the driver 43 may be disposed on the out side of the main line movable rail 25b. Although the driver 43 and the branch line movable rail 25c are connected by the first link 41 and the driver 43 and the main line movable rail 25b are connected by the second link 42 , The branch line operating rail 25c and the main-line-moving rail 25b are connected by a single connecting link, and the connecting link and the driving unit 43 may be connected by another link.

As shown in Fig. 2, the central guide rail 10 is formed of an H-shaped steel. The H-shaped steel is arranged such that a pair of flanges 11 parallel to each other are oriented in the vertical direction and a web 12 connecting the pair of flanges 11 faces in the horizontal direction. In the central guide rail 10 formed of H-shaped steel, each of the outer surfaces of the pair of flanges 11, that is, the surfaces facing in opposite directions forms a central guide surface 13. Here, although the H-shaped steel is used as the central guide rail 10, an I-shaped steel or the like may be used as long as it is a member having a pair of surfaces parallel to each other and facing opposite directions.

The branch line side guide rail 20c and the main line side guide rail 20b are formed by a web 22 of a channel-like steel, that is, a rectangular plate, along a pair of long sides of the web 22, Shaped steel plate having a pair of flanges 21 of a rectangular flat plate provided perpendicularly to the flat plate-like plates 22 and 22. In this channel type steel, the pair of flanges 21 are oriented in the vertical direction, the webs 22 connecting the pair of flanges 21 are arranged so as to face the horizontal direction, the branch line side guide rails 20c, Thereby forming the main-line-side guide rails 20b. The branch line side guide rails 20c and the main line side guide rails 20b formed by the channel type steel are arranged such that each of the inner surfaces of the pair of flanges 21, . Here, channel-shaped steel is used as the branch line side guide rail 20c and the main-line-side guide rail 20b, but any member may be used as long as it has a surface that can be the side guide surface 23. [

Here, the pair of branch guiding wheels 7 of the trajectory gauge V are arranged such that one of the pair of traveling wheels 3 is punctured so that one of the branch guiding wheels 7 2, indicated by imaginary line) is lowered, the branch guiding wheel 7 is provided at such a height that it can not come into contact with the road surface of the traveling route (R). The branch line side guide rails 20c and the main line side guide rails 20b are provided at positions where the traveling wheels 3 can be engaged with the branch guiding wheels 7 at a height in a state where the traveling wheels 3 are not punctured have.

On the other hand, the pair of central guide wheels 5 of the orbital system vehicle V are narrower than the interval between the pair of branch guide wheels 7. As a result, even if one of the traveling wheels 3 of the pair of traveling wheels 3 is punctured, the amount of the one central guide wheel 5 descending is smaller than the amount of the one branch wheel 7 descending. Therefore, the pair of central guide wheels 5 do not contact the road surface of the traveling path R even if they are installed at a lower position than the pair of branch guiding wheels 7. [ Therefore, in the present embodiment, the pair of central guide wheels 5 is provided at a lower position than the pair of branch guide wheels 7. Therefore, the center guide rail 10 is provided at a lower position than the branch line lateral guide rail 20c and the main-line-side guide rail 20b.

The positional relationship of the center guide rail 10, the branch line side guide rail 20c and the main line side guide rail 20b in the vertical direction will be described in more detail. The center guide rail 10 is provided such that the position of the upper rim thereof in the vertical direction is lower than the position of the lower rim of the branch line side guide rail 20c and the lower rim of the main line side guide rail 20b. This is a countermeasure against the puncture of the traveling wheel 3, as described above, and also for the following reasons.

As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, when the trajectory meter vehicle V starts running on the far-side main road running route Rb, and the center guiding wheel 5 reaches the forward proximal position of the distal center guiding rail 10b When reaching the side end portion 16b, the branching line central guide rail 10c is positioned on the inward side of the central guide wheel 5. At this time, if the upper edge of the branching line central guide rail 10c is provided at a position higher than the lower edge of the branching line lateral guide rail 20c, the inner branching guiding wheel 7i guided by the branching line lateral guide rail 20c May interfere with the branch line central guide rail 10c. Therefore, in order to reliably avoid interference between the in-branch guiding wheel 7i and the branching line central guide rail 10c, the position of the upper rim of the branching line central guide rail 10c is set to the position of the lower rim of the branching line lateral guide rail 20c . When the orbital system vehicle V starts running on the branch line travel route Rc and the central guide wheel 5 reaches the proximal proximal side end 16c of the branching line central guide rail 10c, On the out side of the guide wheel 5, the far center guide rail 10b is located. Therefore, in order to eliminate the possibility that the out-side branch guiding wheel 7o guided to the main-line-side guide rail 20b interferes with the distal-side central guide rail 10b, The position is made lower than the position of the lower edge of the main rail side guide rail 20b.

The positional relationship between the branch line lateral guide rail 20c and the main line lateral guide rail 20b and the central guide rail 10 is such that the branch line lateral guide rail 20c and the main line lateral guide rail 20b And the central guide rail 10 is prevented from interfering with each other. If the branch guide wheels 7 guided by the center guide rail 10, the branch line lateral guide rail 20c and the main-line lateral guide rail 20b do not interfere with each other in the horizontal direction, The above positional relationship may not be satisfied.

Next, the operation of the branching device (D) of the present embodiment and the operation of the orbiting gauge (V) accompanying this operation will be described.

First of all, the operation of the branching device D in the case of guiding the trajectory vehicle V running on the proximal main line Rs to the far-side main line Rb, and the operation of the trajectory meter V will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. Fig.

The switching mechanism 40 of the branching device D is arranged so that the branching line movable rail 25c is connected to the branch line driving route Rc when guiding the trajectory system vehicle V running on the proximal- And the main-line-moving rail 25b to the main-line guiding position MP.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the forward proximal side end portion 27c of the branching line 25c at the main line guiding position MP is located at a position spaced inward from the proximal main line running route Ra . The pair of lateral guide surfaces 23 of the branching line 25c is located at a position where the inward branching guide wheel 7i of the pair of branching guide wheels 7 of the tracked vehicle V can not contact . In other words, the branching line operating rail 25c is located at a position where it can not be coupled to the inward branching guiding wheel 7i. More specifically, the pair of side guide surfaces 23 of the branch line operating rail 25c are located on the inward side of the in-side branch guiding road wheels 7i of the trajectory gauge V, Located.

The proximal proximal side end portion 27b of the main-line moving rail 25b in the main-line guiding position MP is provided with the proximal-side main-path running route Ra on the out side of the proximal- It is located along. The pair of lateral guide surfaces 23 of the main-line movable rail 25b are capable of contacting the out-side branch guiding wheels 7o of the pair of branch guiding wheels 7 of the track system vehicle V Position. That is, the main-line-moving rail 25b is located at a position where the out-side branching guiding wheel 7o can be engaged. More specifically, the lateral guide surface 23 of the main-line-moving rail 25b is configured so that the proximal-side main-path running route Ra is connected to the out-side branching guiding wheels 7o As shown in Fig. The main-line-moving rail 25b in the main-line guiding position MP is oriented along the main-line main road Rb.

The trajectory system vehicle V traveling on the proximal main line travel route Ra is guided to the proximal side central guide rail 10a and is guided to the position where the branch line lateral guide rail 20c and the main line lateral guide rail 20b are installed The outgoing branch guiding wheel 7o of this orbital system vehicle V is positioned between the pair of side guiding surfaces 23 of the main-line moving rail 25b and is guided by the pair of side guiding surfaces 23 To be in contact with any one of them. In other words, the out-side branch guiding wheel 7o is in a state of being coupled to the main-line movable rail 25b. On the other hand, the in-branch guiding wheel 7i of the trajectory meter V is located on the outward side of the pair of lateral guide surfaces 23 of the branch line movable rail 25c, It is in a state in which it can not be in contact with either side. As a result, the out-side branch guiding wheel 7o is guided to the main-line movable rail 25b. 4, the outline-guided vehicle wheel 7o is guided to the main-line-moving rail 25b so as to be guided along the direction in which the main-line-moving rail 25b is extended That is, on the original highway main road Rb.

The outward branching guiding wheel 7o of the trajectory meter vehicle V is guided from the main line movable rail 25b to the main line fixed rail 28b leading to the main line movable rail 25b as shown in Fig. The trajectory meter vehicle V is guided by the main rail fixing rail 28b and is guided along the traveling route along the direction in which the main rail fixing rail 28b extends, . When the outward branching guiding wheel 7o of the trajectory gauge V reaches the upper side of the running circle of the main line fixing rail 28b and the pair of central guiding wheels 5 of the trajectory gauge V, And a proximal side portion of the distal center guide rail 10b in the traveling direction is located. That is, the pair of central guide wheels 5 are engaged with the distal center guide rails 10b. Thereby, the trajectory meter vehicle V then travels on the far-side main track Rb while guiding the pair of central guide wheels 5 to the far-side center guide rail 10b.

The trajectory meter vehicle V is guided to the main-line-side guide rail 20b of the main-line guiding position MP so that the branch-line traveling route Rc is partially I will. However, since the branch line central guide rail 10c is not provided at a portion where the center position in the width direction of the branch line travel route Rc crosses the far-side main line travel route Rb, The traveling wheel 3 of the orbiting system vehicle V traveling on the main road Rb runs on the far side main line travel route Rb without contacting the branching line central guide rail 10c.

Next, the operation of the branching device D in the case of guiding the trajectory vehicle V running on the proximal main line travel route Ra to the branching route Rc and the operation of the trajectory meter V Will be described with reference to Figs. 1, 2, 6, and 7. Fig.

The switching mechanism 40 of the branching device D is arranged so that the branching line R and the main line Rc are connected to each other when the trajectory system vehicle V that is traveling on the proximal main line Rs is guided to the branching route Rc, The movable rail 25b (indicated by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 1 and 2 as the imaginary line) is positioned at the branch line guiding position BP.

As shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 1, the proximal proximal side end portion 27b of the main-line movable rail 25b in the branch line guiding position BP is located at a position spaced apart from the proximal-side main- Located. As a result, the pair of side guide surfaces 23 of the main-line movable rail 25b are located at positions where the out-side branch guiding wheels 7o of the trajectory meter vehicle V can not touch. That is, the main-line-moving rail 25b is located at a position where the out-side branching guiding wheel 7o can not be engaged. More specifically, the pair of lateral guide surfaces 23 of the main-line movable rail 25b are arranged so that the proximal-side main-path running route Ra is out of the out-side branch guiding wheels 7o of the traveling- .

The proximal proximal side end portion 27c of the branching line 25c in the branch line guiding position BP is located on the inward side of the proximal main line running route Ra along the proximal main line running route Ra Located. The pair of side guide surfaces 23 of the branching line 25c is located at a position where the inward branching guide wheel 7i of the trajectory meter V can be contacted. That is, the branching line operating rail 25c is located at a position where the inward branching guiding wheel 7i can be engaged. More specifically, the lateral guide surface 23 of the branch line operating rail 25c is provided with a proximal main line running route Ra in the width direction of the traveling route, and the proximal main line traveling route Ra is connected to the inward branching guiding wheel 7i of the traveling system V, Respectively. Further, the branching line movable rail 25c in the branching line guiding position BP is directed in the direction along the branching line running route Rc.

The trajectory system vehicle V traveling on the proximal main line travel route Ra is guided to the proximal side central guide rail 10a and is guided to the position where the branch line lateral guide rail 20c and the main line lateral guide rail 20b are installed The inward branching guide wheel 7i of this orbital system vehicle V is located between the pair of lateral guide surfaces 23 of the branching line movable rail 25c and is located between the pair of lateral guide surfaces 23 It is in a state in which it can contact any one of them. That is, the in-branch guiding wheel 7i is coupled to the branch line movable rail 25c. On the other hand, the out-side branch guiding wheel 7o of the trajectory meter vehicle V is located on the inward side of the pair of side guiding surfaces 23 of the main-line movable rail 25b, It is in a state in which it can not be in contact with either side. As a result, the in-branch guiding wheel 7i is guided to the branch line movable rail 25c. 6, while the in-branch guiding wheel 7i is guided to the branching-and-moving movable rail 25c, the trajectory meter vehicle V travels along the direction in which the branching-line movable rail 25c is extended That is, on the branch line travel route Rc.

The inward branching guide wheel 7i of the trajectory meter vehicle V shifts from the branching line operating rail 25c to the branching line fixing rail 28c connected to the branching line operating rail 25c as shown in Fig. The trajectory meter vehicle V runs on the traveling route along the direction in which the branching rail 28c extends, that is, on the branching route traveling route Rc while being guided by the branching route fixing rail 28c . When the inward branching guiding wheel 7i of the trajectory meter vehicle V reaches the upper side of the traveling line of the branching line fixing rail 28c, there is formed, between the pair of central guiding wheels 5 of the track system vehicle V, The proximal side portion of the center guide rail 10c in the traveling direction is located. That is, the pair of central guide wheels 5 are coupled to the branch line central guide rail 10c. This causes the trajectory meter vehicle V to travel on the branch line travel route Rc while being guided by the pair of central guide wheels 5 to the branch line central guide rail 10c.

The trajectory meter vehicle V is guided to the branch line lateral guide rail 20c of the branch line guiding position BP so that the original upper side main road passage Rb is partially transversely moved while the branch line travel route Rc is traveling I will.

However, since the distal-side central guide rail 10b is not provided at the portion c where the central position in the width direction of the main road running track Rb intersects with the branch-line running route Rc, The traveling wheel 3 of the orbiting system vehicle V traveling on the traveling route Rc runs on the branching route traveling route Rc without contacting the distal side central guide rail 10b.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the orbital system vehicle V that is running on the proximal main line travel route Ra is guided by the main line lateral guide rail 20b of the main line guiding position MP to the distal main line travel route Rb, So that the trajectory system vehicle V traveling on the proximal main line travel route Ra is guided to the branch line travel route Rc by the branch line lateral guide rail 20c of the branch line guiding position BP.

In this embodiment, as described above, the trajectory meter vehicle V is guided by the original high-side main-road passage Rb and the branch-line passage Rb Rc). The central position in the width direction of the traveling route of the far-side main road traveling route Rb is shifted from the center position in the width direction of the traveling route of the portion b or the branching route traveling route Rc crossing the branching route traveling route Rc, It is not necessary to provide the central guide rail 10 at the portion c intersecting the upper main road running route Rb and the central guide rail 10 is not provided at these portions. As a result, in the present embodiment, even if the traveling route and the central guide rail are not moved integrally from the branching start position BC beyond the branching start position BC as in the prior art, the distal center guide rail 10b and the branching- And the branch line central guide rail 10c and the far-side main line travel route Rb can be prevented from interfering with each other.

As described above, in the present embodiment, there is no need to move the travel route R, so there is no need to provide a travel route R that can be moved. Further, the switching mechanism 40 can be downsized, and the energy consumption of the switching mechanism 40 can be reduced. As a result, in the present embodiment, the initial cost and the running cost of the branching device D can be reduced.

Next, the arrangement and dimensional relationship of each rail will be described.

It is also preferable that the following condition (4) is further satisfied.
